"Thank you! Thank you all. Yes, I am here to save this club from a sub-.500 season, because I am awesome and cuter than Corky! ...Whoa, hey, back it up -- see with your eyes, not with your hands. I'm married."

Today's roster moves: Chipper and Huddy to the DL, Bennett back from the DL, Charlie and Clint officially brought up. Thanks to Jennise for being the first to notify me of the tragedy that is HUDDY ON THE DL. *sniff*

I'm sure Huddy's ailment is not serious. At least I hope not. I don't know if I could take it if Smoltzie, Glav, Chipper, Huddy and Baby were out for an extended period of time all at the same time. :(

Word is that a trade for Teix is in the works. ESPN reported that the Braves notified teams that they're willing to discuss it. I'll miss Mark a ton...but I am hoping that by some long shot we can get Conor Jackson.

I looked for the story on ESPN.com. Is there any word on the other end of the trade? I am just curious as to who they are looking to get for him.

During the Marlins series and Phillies series, both of their teams annoucers said they were told by someone in the Braves club house Mark would be in a Braves uniform at the end of the year. But that could be speculation as well.

I did read on Braves.com where the Braves will have over $40 mil to play with in the off season.

Either way 1) I hope it isn't so and 2) I wish I had $40 to play with.

other end of the deal is looking like Chad Tracey (decent 1st baseman- can't hit lefties to save his life) and one or two solid prospects...apparently the Braves tried to get Conor Jackson but Arizona said no deal

I'm really curious to see what actually happens. There aren't that many good options (I was hoping for Conor Jackson, but I wouldn't trade him either, if I were Arizona). Should be interesting to see what offer the Braves might bite on.

I like Frenchy and all but, well not really. He has royally irritated me this season but anyway, I get why some people like him. Kind of. My friend in Boston annoys the crap out of me with her OMG FRENCHY! love lol and I'm like TAKE HIM, PLEASE!

Anyway, I'm not gonna lie. I'd be overfreakinjoyed if he got traded but we all know that's not gonna happen. Darn it.

I'm a bit surprised at how many people are still in LOVE with Frenchy, but I can't say anything -- I still love Pete Orr and Langy, and they both kinda suck. :) Plus, Frenchy was just a doll when I met him, so that tips the scales to the "like" side for me, as opposed to Buddy, who's on the "dislike" side.

For the record, I'm not getting worked up over any of the trade rumors. They are "rumors", after all, and how many rumors are based on fact? Not 100% of them, that's for sure...
